Preparing Your Home For Easter Long Weekend
Easter is a calendar favourite as family and friends gather to make religious observances and maximise two public holidays.
As your trusted real estate agency, New Door offers these handy tips to help you prepare your home for the four-day weekend:
Spacing
Depending on how many people you’re expecting, declutter your lounging area, for better movement of people to lounge and sleep (if you’re out of bedrooms).
Pack away homeware that is not always necessary such as ironing boards and large ornaments that take up precious space.
The extra space will allow more free flow for people, especially for family and friends living with disability and the traditional Easter egg hunt for children.
Décor
Apart from hot crossed buns and chocolate eggs, go the extra mile with some thematic decorations and Easter craft.
Hand-painted eggs, bunnies and even pinatas are a fun way to add some colour and fun energy.
For colour themes, try pastels such for warmth and vibrance. Traditional palettes for Easter also include purple -for royalty, and white, to symbolize resurrection and purity.
Catering
If you can’t get extra chairs, consider other alternatives for seating.
A low table with cushions is a great way to retain mealtime intimacy with family and friends.
In any case, a buffet table with a picnic-style sit down never fails to feed the masses.
Depending on your budget, you may also consider ordering from one of the many talented SMEs who provide pinatas, graze tables and other festive catering needs.
Finally, Easter also denotes the coming of spring, and a good spring cleaning is an apt preparatory activity for the coming season.
From the New Door team, we wish you a wonderful and safe Easter.
